Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to addressing climate change challenges during a meeting with Czech Republic Ambassador to Kenya Nicol Adamcová on Monday. Duale announced that the two countries would collaborate on climate finance, the circular economy, diplomacy, and early warning systems, which are vital for strengthening Kenya’s environmental resilience and economic growth.
“In climate finance, Kenya welcomes the participation of the Czech Republic’s private sector in carbon markets and investment in the circular economy to promote wealth and job creation, in line with the Government’s BETA blueprint,” Duale stated.
“We look forward to the Czech Republic’s support in hosting the Plastics Treaty Secretariat at UNEP in Nairobi, leveraging their technology to advance Kenya’s carbon markets, and enhancing early warning systems,” he added.
The ministry also recognized the Czech Republic’s technological expertise as a key driver in accelerating Kenya’s emerging carbon market sector. Linda Kosgei, Head of Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs) at the ministry, was also present during the meeting.
